I wrote this awhile ago, but never posted. As I'm looking for distractions from the present day world, I thought I'd post it now, especially since there are updates. Love to hear your comments.
Written: January 8:
Well, I had the British Mystery series Grace, based on Peter James' award-winning crime fiction, featuring detective Roy Grace, Season 5, on my list to watch Thursday night, January 8. I sat down all ready to watch Season 5, episode 1, on Britbox through Prime Video. I was dismayed and angry to learn that it was not yet available So I began searching as to why it was not available on my streaming vehicle. What I found, after a rather long search through various British Mystery sites and Reddit, was that Grace, Series 5, will start on Prime Video Britbox on February 5. Why?? Well, Episode 1 did air January 8 on Britbox Premier. No explanation. I thought I would have to change things up and order Britbox directly (I get Britbox through Prime). But oh no! Britbox now has two tiers. Premier and 'regular'.. And guess what? Premier costs more. $149.99/yr as opposed to $89.99 year. Premier Tier is only available for Direct Subscribe. This gives you early access. I really do like Britbox. Many of my favorite shows are on it. But -- this is putting me off big time. Grumble, grumble. I know there are so many more important issues in the world, but just thought I'd let you know what I think.
However, you might want to know when it will air, in case you, too, were expecting it, on February 5. Britbox though Prime, and probably on the regular Britbox tier directly. We'll see. There are only 4 episodes, and I imagine they'll drop one a week.
And, the good news is that Season 6 is already filming.
